Nationalist Faction of Montenegro

The Nationalist Faction was an informal grouping of nationalist politicians in Montenegro that was active from 1852 to 1918. The faction was composed of the reactionary members of the court, and it supported a strong, absolute monarchy, opposing liberal reforms in the country. The faction held mostly typical reactionary views, although it held more moderate economic views, as it supported an interventionist economy, giving more control of businesses to small businessmen than other reactionary parties, which typically supported state capitalism. The faction opposed foreign trade, supported the cultural and religious traditions of the country, and supported an aggressive foreign policy. The faction was allied to the Royal Faction of Montenegro due to their shared royalist and right-wing views.
